While in the San Blas we had visitors!  

Family from Hermanus, South Africa, surprised us. Chris's brother Shaun, his wife Carol and their charming boys Justin and Taylor.  We had a ball!

 Nigel was very spontaneous and flew out from New York to us for 10 days too!  What a treat!

San Blas islands are all within and hour or two sail from each other, the water a constant 35 degrees celsius.  Spearfishing, scuba diving, water skiing and surfing, all daily events.

We are still sailing with SAFARI, but will soon part ways when we head to the Panama Canal in preparation for our Pacific Leg.  Hopefully they will catch up to us on the other side.
